I do 🙂Īnother thing, and probably one of the reasons it’s always been hard to sway hosting companies to support Rails: Rails evolved, Ruby evolved, but it seems that both Ruby and Rails communities continue to nurture the “We are opinionated – deal with it” attitude, and don’t really care about making it easy for companies that would be willing to host and support Rails. The working ones are more expensive and not necessarily have the local reach a client needs. Yes, I know that there are some companies that specialise in Rails applications deployment and hosting without VPS, yet this doesn’t change the big picture much. Things changed with the advent of VPS solutions but even today a typical, shared LAMP hosting with everything you need to run your PHP/MySQL thing, costs about one tenth (if not less) than a minimal VPS capable of running your Rails. With some notable exceptions all the typical hosting companies of the time (of Rails 1 & 2) neither supported nor allowed self-installation of non-supported software. You can imagine they were not the least expensive either. Like “OK – I have my beautiful application but where am I going to host it?”. Still – at some point – realities started to get through the cloud of excitement. I quickly became “early adopter” as well as “advocate” of RoR (Ruby on Rails). Also because it was using a beautiful, “post-modernistic” language of Ruby. Rails was different in a most positive way.

And I don’t even want to mention the dreadful experiences of pre-V5 PHP. One could spawn a basic CRUD webapp in a timespan narrower than it would take to configure only the most vital XMLs for an application in one of the prominent Java Application Servers of the time. At freakin’ last, building a simple web application became actually, well… simple. First Rails was something to be truly happy with. A big gulp of fresh air after all the Java stuff we had to deal with for years. When the first Rails happened to Ruby, it was a pure revelation. If you want to follow Rails Guides and install a fresh Rails environment on a vanilla Ubuntu 16.04LTS you need at least the following dependencies installed before you start:.I mean they are great but most probably written by people who never actually had to use them.
